how to manage groups in different machines using LDAP

[Daniel Szortyka <daniel.szortyka@ibopedtm.com>]

Hey guys,

I'm new in the forum and new in the LDAP world.

I have my environment set up and working fine so far. 

I have a LDAP server and few other stations which autenticate in my server, OK so far. 

However, I have applications running exclusively with a special group, let's say "SAS" and that's my problem. 

Group SAS in MachineA is GID = 501 (/etc/groups)

Group SAS in MachineB is GID = 502 (/etc/groups)

(this was defined some time ago.. every computer has a different GID for Group SAS)

UserA was created with GID = 501 in LDAP.

The problem is that when UserA authenticates in MachineB, he doesn't have a group assigned. 

I would like to know which direction I should go to make sure no matter what computer the user authenticates, he'll get the right group assigned. 

Tks in advance.
